IMO both parties would be quite stupid to not escrow the money in a situation such as this one.

you wouldn't accept MY WORD???!?!!?!! MY WORD IS MY WORD!

Exactly. Your word is just your word and I don't know you.

I wonder what it's going to be like when Polov shows up to fight Samo...

the irony. this is why i don't think i've made a post ITT, aside from the one i'm typing now, directed at you in 30 pages.



also, to say that you have hit a wall in the negotiating, and that wall is that you are refusing to escrow, is too hilarious.

one more piece of comedy is the fact that in the past few days you have left the thread twice. both times some random with less than 20 posts has popped in to defend you. both times they exhibited several symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. both times they tried to give explicit reasoning why they couldn't possibly be you (one of them said because they use proper spelling and grammar HAHA). both times, everyone ITT used logic to refute/annihilate any point they were trying to make. both times, you swiftly reappeared to defend them. both times, entertaining.

also, by reading the last few pages of this thread, i somehow finally realized it is not worth it at all to respond to anything Gabe says. he is getting more and more ludicrous and becoming less and less willing to include any sort of reasoning, logic, or even create an argument when he is stating his opinions.

it seems to me that this thread started out with Gabe being dead serious about everything he says; and, while he still believes everything he previously stated, he is now having fun turning this into a level.

sorry for stating the obvious here, but in the past few pages all i read were posts paraphrasing each other trying to get through to Gabe with the use of reason. he simply states that he is ignoring every single person ITT that disagrees with him because they have a mob mentality. or responds with some absurd, narrow-minded, illogical statement littered with grammar and spelling errors and reiterating his preposterous opinions.



RIP thread (assuming Gabe is honestly unwilling to ever use an escrow in a HU match with someone he's never met, when they are willing to fly to his hometown to play him at his convenience in a match he believes he is >80% in)

I honestly think gabe will play if someone comes down here with the money.I know he does have a lot of gamble in him .Yall keep calling him all talk bc he wont escrow 40 k .I dont really blame him for not posting 40 k in cash .Its hard to trust people these days. If someone is willing to play him for 40 k but is making an excuse that you will not come unless he escrows....I think you are all talk bc if you have 40 k to play a heads up match and think you have an edge against gabe.....It would be well worth 500 in expenses to fly down to see if he will actually play.You would probably make the 500 back playing cash for the few days your here if he did actually back out once you were here, so if you guys really want to play gabe stop asking him to escrow....Its not going to happen.If you want to play simply message him the dates and fly your ''all talk '' ass down here

My friend donnie is a poker dealer and he would most likely deal the game if asked . This game can be set up easily if yall would stop flaming him for being ''all talk '' and just fly down. Now if he agreed to play you on a certain date and you flew down and he backed out.He would deserve to get flamed but i honestly think he would play if you would fly down and stop bsing about an escrow.

Well, when you say it like that, his refusal to use an escrow sounds stupid.






[If you're going to watch scroll to 2:54 mark for the intended quote. I just couldn't find it by itself]:

I PM'ed about a match, but just saw that EDD isn't willing to escrow? WTF? If you don't want to escrow, play in a casino. Otherwise it's insane expecting somebody to risk getting freerolled just b/c their opponent swears they're of high integrity.

I mean, even Patrik Antonius and durrrr escrowed ffs

yes it is hard to trust people these days, hence the escrow. I would have said this entire post was a level, but it is quite long and you do have a lot of posts. Surely you wouldn't take that much time to make such a dumb post unless you believed it.

Wow, 9100 in a 2/5 game? Maybe you were right about everything afterall.















butnahhhhhhhhh

sharky so you're saying Gabe can't trust John Dolan, one of his friends?

Also how do you explain Gabe SUGGESTING the escrow to be with John Dolan earlier,and being completely fine with it then, but now demanding there is none. Can you at least see how that contradiction and sudden change of mind might lead us to believe that Gabe is dodging matches......?

It's hilarious that people continue to post in this thread. Everyone gets so butt hurt about what one guy says. Get over it. He's a douche. You guys are childish because you fail to realize that there is no getting through to a person like that, yet you continue to try.

Just lock it up already.

this would be foolish. individuals with imperfect integrity are in every class of people. look at the front page for info on chino rheem, who (i believe) meets your criteria. why risk thousands of dollars and half a week when there is no reasonable certainty? and no, thank you, i don't want to vacation in biloxi.

no matter, there is no point arguing with you.

For someone who believes online poker is rigged and the casinos have lasers that try to cheat you, seems ludicrous that you'd expect someone to trust you without an escrow.

Time is money dude. Gotta respect that samo has a real life with a kid and ****. It is pretty obvious that Gabe "All Talk" Costner was **** talking with zero intention of backing it up. His numerous "conditions" and refusal to escrow the money are clear signs of that. There is no way for samo to even know if he has 40k. There is no way Mr.Talk agrees to an escrow because he would be bound into playing. He has zero intention of playing and zero desire to play.

He can come in and continue to make posts trying argue otherwise but until he escrows the 40k they're all meaningless.

Terry Moore was in the game & can verify, also Jason Gladden came in to play 10 25 PLO before she left

I wanted to mention one thing about the posters that have come in with few post to defend me. The very fact that they actually made an effort to come in and post in a thread since they don't post much can testify that they saw something that was really wrong in this thread. Posters with thousands of post all gang up & come in to talk trash.

What you guys fail to realize is that most of the posters here with thousands of post are mostly morons to begin with. Anyone that can come here day after day with nothing to do other than ridicule someone opening a thread & trying to tell the truth speaks clearly for their motivations. Someone that doesnt post much may not run there mouth a lot but has something to say when they do.

Most of the objective readers of this thread would definatelty see through this BS. Thats why the posters that have few post agree that you guys are very biased, unintelligent, & create a mob mentality with your insults.


I think I've did a pretty good job of schooling you guys with your illogical arguments since I'm pretty much the only one against 50.

Live players FTW

A) you've racked up 200 posts in how long???

B) i rarely post and mostly lurk MTT strat/MTTC and have been captivated by this thread and according to your account posts theory im not ******ed so heres my thoughts. im sure your great at reading people and maybe good at poker but many of the things you've stated have been baseless and borderline ******ed. very entertaining though lol

Gabe:
Could you give cliffs on the logical arguments that you've made and schooled everyone on?

Was it that live players are always better than online players unless the online players are also live players?

You've played as many hands online as anyone (millions, FPP leader etc.) but never cashed out because lolrigaments and you couldn't win with KK because every site is rigged against you?

That casinos cheat players using infrared lasers yet you'd rather player in a casino than online?

Except I have like 30 posts. faaaaaail. When have you schooled me Gabe? It is ME (and others) schooling YOU. You have failed to explain any of the several posts where you either:

a.) contradicted yourself, example: you're okay w/ Dolan escrow against Samo, but now you're not
b.) make no sense whatsoever, example: online poker rigged, you're an 80% favorite etc


Also, how about you explain the fact that you claim to soul read online players allllll the time at tourneys, yet when Samo was gonna play you, you demanded no shades or hoodie, like that would diminish your powers LOL--you do realize that MANY online tourney players wear shades or hoodies......

Gabe. Do. you. understand. how. you. contradict. yourself?
^

Schooled

I've racked up 200 post defending my opening thread, not going into other peoples thread insulting & throwing my opinions around about things I don't know.


And everything I've said definately has merit. I believe 100% that I have an edge against ANY strictly online player. If it was structured in a way that we could play for a full year. I would virutally guarentee that they have no shot. I'm sorry but that's just how it is.

Baud & welk, I mean both of you guys are total morons, Give me a break. If I had all fckn day to sit here & have a school off with you HU, Id lay you 10/1. But instead, I'm schooling all 50 of you together. Now go sit for another 20 min by yourself in the corner while you can think of something else ******ed to say to GABE, OH your delusional, stupid, HHHHHHAAAAAA

ROAST

Good DAy

ohhhhh yea I forgot about his live vs online argument that started all this haha

Gabe: Top live players are better than any online players at live poker.
us: What about Tom Dwan? He owns live players badddd
Gabe: he is a "hybrid", he has learned to embrace reads etc, he's good at live poker
us: So what you're saying is when online players become better and beat live players, you automatically consider them "hybrids" and they no longer count as "online players"

translation: X is better than Y. If Y happens to be better than X, then it IS X.

Do you see how that is circular logic, it is flawed. It is not a valid argument. It is not logical. This is what we mean by schooling you....you clearly have no response to this....
